Moonlight JS - C# / .NET Runtime for Javascript

[rdkhatch]

Moonlight is the open source, client-side .NET runtime.

http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight

Moonlight is currently being compiled by Xamarin @ http://xamarin.com (Miguel de lcaza) to iPhone, iPad, & Android devices.

However, the most important platform - is the browser. Our goal is to have a .NET runtime for Javascript. This would open the flood gates for rich-client business applications of all kinds to be deployed to the browser, to run on any operating system or device.

PS. Mono compiler has full, built-in LLVM output support. http://www.mono-project.com/Mono_LLVM

I am excited about this goal and am happy to help out.

My concern though is that the LLVM support there is not complete. The bottom of the page there mentions some stuff. I also assume that things like reflection will not work.

In addition there are JS limitations like multithreading. If such a thing ends up being crucial for Moonlight, it could be a problem.

Best explanation of state within development community, and why an LLVM Javascript build is so needed. Whatever limitations there are - we will work through them.

Hey, this is a very old item, and probably not useful to track its port as a github bug, so I'll close this to clean up. If this is being worked on, let's focus on any individual bugs arising during the porting process as separate items.
